Description

A delightful and creamy dessert combining the richness of cheesecake with a homemade salted caramel sauce, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package firm tofu (14 oz)
  • 1 cup coconut cream (from the top of a chilled can of coconut milk)
  • 1 heaping cup soaked cashews (soaked overnight or in boiling water for at least an hour)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 150g vegan plain cookies (e.g., Biscoff)
  • 3 1/2 tbsp vegan butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup coconut cream
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Pulse the cookies and melted vegan butter in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Press this mixture into the bottom and sides of a parchment-lined 9″ springform pan. Set aside.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: Drain and press the tofu to remove excess water. Blend the tofu with coconut cream, soaked cashews, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla, salt, and cornstarch until smooth. Pour the filling over the prepared crust.
  3. Bake the Cheesecake: Wrap the bottom of the springform pan in foil. Place it in a larger deep pan and pour water halfway up the sides for a water bath. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes. The cheesecake should be slightly jiggly in the center and golden around the edges. Let it cool and refrigerate for at least 6-8 hours.
  4. Make the Salted Caramel Sauce: In a saucepan, heat the coconut cream, coconut sugar, vanilla, and sea salt over medium heat until it boils. Add cornstarch and whisk until it thickens. Let the sauce cool for 20 minutes.
  5. Assemble: Pour the cooled caramel sauce over the chilled cheesecake. Garnish with flaky salt if desired.

Notes

Soaking the cashews creates a creamier filling. Let the cheesecake cool completely before refrigerating to avoid moisture buildup. Experiment with different toppings for a twist.
